Following the tradition of previous great MCM Buzz competitions, we are pleased to announce that thanks to the kind people at indie game developers, Born Ready Games, the MCM Buzz is giving away two fantastic Strike Suit Infinity prize packs.
Each pack contains a Steam code (that will allow you to download the game for free), an awesome artbook from Strike Suit Zero and a soundtrack CD. Speaking of the game itself, Strike Suit Infinity was described...

From its crisp frame rate to stunning visuals Strike Suit Zero was an ambitious game. Avoiding several of the pitfalls it could have stumbled into along the way, it made only a couple of small design mistakes that I felt could have been improved. The studio behind the game, Born Ready Games, is now releasing Strike Suit Infinity, a game which is mechanically near identical, but takes the focus away from a story campaign and shifts it more onto...

SyFy’s new show Defiance will start airing in April 2013. So far it looks to be a fantastic show with a beautiful blend of survival, character profile development and big flashy battles. Who doesn’t like big flashy battles? Set during the aftermath of an interspecies war held on Earth, aliens and mankind have come to co-exist to survive on the war torn planet. With no main body of government, frontier cities such as Defiance are the closest thing...

So only last week, the world was given the sneaky release of information surrounding the new Metal Gear game. With information leaking faster than a MGS: Sons of Liberty plot, it was never going to be long before the details were released to the public in full.
Well from what we could only guess at before we now know for certain, this game is about Big Boss, set after the events of MGS: Peace Walker. A rather massive jump from the PSP’s HD remake,...

Well since its announcement, there have been a LOT of views about Halo 4. A mixed response to say the least as some of the views praise Halo 4 for its greatly improved visual beauty and updated game play, while some of those still condemn 343 Industries for dragging out the universe which Bungie so lovingly created.
A rather cryptic trailer last year gave more questions than answers, but not in the “I want to be left guessing” sense, more a “What...

Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (known in North America as Rhythm Heaven Fever) is a Wii music rhythm game developed by Nintendo and TNX. The third in the Rhythm Heaven series, it comes out in Europe on July 6th.
The game uses a clear and crisp 2D art style which makes the most of the Wii‘s graphical abilities. While the game may not have the resolution of games on an HD console, in my time playing the game it didn’t matter. What the...

A big fear with the Walking Dead game was that it would follow more in the footsteps of the TV series over the original comic. Well what better way to abate those fears than by opening the first gameplay footage video with a few lines from Robert Kirkman the series’ creator and writer.
After a long period of anticipation it’s good to see some actual action in this nicely formatted trailer, moving from the comic’s visuals to the actual...

With the growth in power in gaming hardware, and increased graphical abilities of the last few generations, video game cut scenes and gameplay are coming closer and closer to the level of movies. In many ways, games have started taking tips from the movie industry and are becoming steadily more cinematic. The question is, are games becoming too much like movies? Would it be a bad thing for the mediums to converge? What does that do for storytelling...

Amongst a wave of TGS (Tokyo Game Show) reveals this week, Marvel and Capcom have taken the opportunity to shown several new trailers for their upcoming sequel.
Most notably, we finally get to take a look at two of the most anticipated characters in the game – the immortal Iron Fist and demon spawn Vergil – in action.
Vergil, son of Sparda and twin brother of Dante tends to lean more towards his demon side than his human. He’s...

As promised last week, Namco Bandai have released the second video in their new Dragonball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi series, a series that is designed to show off their newly created character, Bandai-Sama.
The latest Hero Mode video shows us just how in depth the character customisation options can take us in the game. Unlocked super attacks can be chosen and placed on your character to form part of their very own moveset, thus making it quite unique...
